- Title
Gleicher Maßstab bei App und Medikament.
- Authors
Abholz, Heinz-Harald
- Abstract
In the letter to the editor "Equal standards for apps and medication," Heinz-Harald Abholz from the Institute of General Medicine at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf expresses concerns regarding the effectiveness of Digital Health Applications (DiGA) in the treatment of depressive disorders. He argues that general practitioners should not only consider effectiveness but also clinically relevant outcomes. Abholz points out that the cited studies do not provide reliable results and that further research on clinical outcomes is necessary. He emphasizes that the same standards should apply to technical solutions like DiGA as they do for medications.
